Brave Spain (The Sun: Tabloid of Champions)

The Sun Says...
THERE seems little doubt that al-Qaeda carried out the Madrid massacre. But did the terrorists strike because Spain backed America and Britain in the war on terror? No. They murdered 200 innocent people because they are bent on destroying everything Western. If, in their hours of grief, Spanish voters have exacted revenge on their Government then that would be a sad mistake. Muslim fanatics were at war with the West long before September 11 forced countries like America, Britain and Spain to stand up and be counted. The latest bloodshed has nothing to do with with our ousting of Saddam. Because France and Germany sat on their hands, does that mean they are not a target?
To paraphrase the great Churchill: The Battle of Spain is over, the Battle of France is about to begin.
No country can afford to do nothing. This is a war on the world — and we have to fight back. You can’t appease terrorists. That just makes you a soft target.
Simple, blunt, and true.
The Sun is Garlic to Al Mirror’s Vampire. It was The Sun who called out the Guardian/Independent/Mirror Axis on their original Guantanamo horror stories a couple of years ago, with a half page banner headline declaring "LIES!" Just before the Iraq War, Sun minions rented a boat and bombarded a visiting French warship with white feathers (symbols of cowardice in Britain).
